“First time at Taco Buddha! Great food! Great staff! Staff went up above and beyond to help with my order, today! Thank you for such Great customer service at the Kirkwood location 💕“

“I've always loved to food💙✌️“

“The food here is amazing and delicious! It’s hot, fresh, authentic and lovingly prepared by the beautiful family that owns the place. We will definitely be back so we can try more of these fantastic dishes! Thanks for a great meal!“

“Such a fun and delicious experience! Great team! Fantastic service! It’s a must try! And don’t forget about Rock and Roll trivia!“

“Dined here for the first time last night. Salsa was delish, margaritas was fantastic (got the Mezcal. They were out of tajin, but it was still excellent with salt). Enjoyed the tacos and the street corn. 10 out of 10! Looking forward to dining here again.“

“We love this place! Our favorite is the Texas BBQ Massacre! Absolutely delicious! The decore and atmosphere are spot on! Seeing a little tabletop standee of BrainScan was such a throwback! Everytime we come to St. Louis it is an obvious stop for us. My husband was recently sent up here to the hospital from Joplin and as soon as we found out he could eat I knew right were he was going to send me to pick up food. They were so accommodating and even sent a small gift to cheer up my husband and it did! Thank you so much! You guys are amazing!“

“This has been the best authentic food I have found outside of Mexico! Enchilada verse, Gordita made with real homemade masa, and aqua frescas!!! So good. W e have been back two days in a row ?“

“I have passed this place so many times & read the wonderful reviews & finally had lunch. It so good. It’s what I imagine an authentic home cooked meal would be like if this restaurant didn’t exist. There is room to dine in, but I’ve seen just as many do a take away. The green salsa will solve all your problems if you have a cold lol. It’s hot, but flavorful. I have had the Gordita & a Machete con asada so far and I plan to work my way through the menu. The food is simple, not drowned in sauce & salt, but prepared in a way that you can taste how all the ingredients complement one another. I understand that the outside may make you wonder if you are in the right place but believe me, you gotta try it. Very kind staff.“

“We were in town for a Cubs / Cards game, and Condado caught our eye. Our serve was THE BEST, and she had some great recommendations! The atmosphere was eclectic and energetic, the service was top notch, and the food?! So good! Definitely recommended!“

“One of my favorite places for lunch. The Kirkwood location has a really fun arcade room sure to make any gathering for any ages unique and interesting. The street corn, margaritas, empanadas and three piggies burrito are my favorites!“

“My sister gifted my husband and I a gift card for Xmas. She works for three kings in south county another establishment with the same owners. The food and atmosphere at Three Kings is so great that we were thrilled to see they’d opened a Mexican restaurant as we love tacos! Just from walking up from the partying lot, I knew it would be great! The outside dining had lots of themed touches that were really nice! Soon as we walked in we were greeted and told of our wait time. we really appreciated that the hostess took our number and called us when our table was ready. We ended up sitting and waiting, we like to people watch :D the decor was gorgeous! I loved the succulent chandelier, the floral walls, the ceramic and the mosaic touches! All of their establishments are inviting and really create a nice atmosphere! Our server Charlie was friendly and knowledgeable regarding drinks and food! We each had a delicious margarita! The chips and salsa were fantastic! My husband ordered a smothered burrito and I opted for a taco plate. I was very impressed with the amount of options on the food especially for health conscious people- vegan, gluten free, etc! I loved that I could mix and match, I had a Baja fish taco and the vegan chorizo. Both were amazing! The slaw on the baja taco was sweet and crunchy! This was my first experience with vegan chorizo and it was the perfect amount of spicy! The plantains were delicious and basically became our dessert! We over indulged too much and skipped dessert, but we will be back soon so that we can order the Churros! Highly recommend checking out Tres Reyes and or Three Kings if you haven’t yet! You won’t be disappointed! :)“

“Mission taco has amazing food but their margaritas are the BEST in town. The arcade is a great addition!! The wait staff is always friendly and fun. ❤️“

“10/10 great flavor seasoning and overall filling at affordable price! I recommend the corn n sweet potato w chicken.“

“The lady inside was SO NICE and personable. My fiance had gone in to get our food while I tended to our baby and he ended up getting my sandwich toasted. I can’t eat warm meat so I took it back in myself and explained to her about my issue and she fixed it no problem and didn’t argue at all even tho it was definitely our fault!

She said she has recently become full owner of the shop and she’s doing a fantastic job! Come support this small business!!!“

“Had a wonderful breakfast experience today. Most of our group prefer lunch food. So this place is perfect. Full menu all day. The bartender Nick is top notch and a true asset to the service industry. Will be back soon.“

“Awesome food and service!“

“Kalbi Taco Shack is the best.“

“Great bar, great atmosphere, friendly staff! Great local bar and good drinks! I’ll be back!“

“This facility is in a great location right off of Olive behind Bristol's. It has a bar with basic selections. There is a large meeting space and a kitchen. It's not fancy, as is normally the case with American Legion facilities, but it's functional.“

“Located inside Schnucks. Minimal queues on a Friday night. Ordered a gogi bowl with bulgolgi steak (extra $2) and kimchi fried rice (had good amount of heat). Wasn't sure how hot the gogi sauce would be so ordered it on the side in a small container - ended up being fine - kimchi fried rice had more spice. Small seating area available in the corner.“

“Today I visited Lilly Peez Diner and purchased the "Honey Hot Wings" Delicious, I most definitely will be back!“
